Abstract

In this video we analyze the contemporary shamanism in Huautla from the case study of the grandmother Julieta Casimiro, one of the most outstanding chjota-chjine of the city, with which I had the opportunity to work for more than seven months during the fieldwork. Our presentation will be divided into three sections in which we present data of a different nature. In the first section we present a synthesis of the trajectory of the Grandmother Julieta. The second section systematizes information that is the result of direct observation, of having accompanied dozens of rituals with the holy children and of having participated as an auxiliary in several opportunities. In the third section I approach my own learning throughout this ethnographic experience, an ethnography from states of consciousness in rituals with "holy children."
